It's happening in my home. To be more specific, it's happening in my bedroom.
Simmer down, you perverts! I mean a literal snake with scales and a forked tongue.
Last night we heard a loud, long scraping noise coming from the drop ceiling tiles over our bed. It's a very creepifying sound, let me tell you. Every slow and tortuous movement of the snake was amplified by the tiles. Couple that with complete darkness and we have the makings of record-setting sudden onset goose bumps.
The snake wasn't poisonous, but it was long and slow. AND it escaped....into the ceiling over the bathroom and then further into the space above the kitchen.
Its still loose somewhere....in my house...slithering around.

I would not be able to stay in the house. I would be calling someone, anyone, to come capture the snake. I just went through the experience of hiring someone to live trap a family of squirrels that decided to take up residence in our roof. And now I get to go through the experience of fixing said roof so they don't get in again. -

Kat, I don't know how you can stay with a snake slithering around your house, never knowing when or where you are going to find him. YIKES. It was bad enough that we had a family of raccoons living in our overhang which was right outside my bedroom window. I woke up at 3 am one morning to a scraping outside my window, thinking someone was trying to get in, I opened my blinds (which were right behind my head - our bed was up against the windows and they were just at the height of the mattress) to find a VERY LARGE, VERY PISSED OFF Momma Raccoon starting at me. She attacked the window trying to get me. Let me tell you, I have never screamed so hard or loud in my life as I did right then! My husband about shit himself cause he had been sound asleep up till then. We lived with them (Momma & her six - count em 6 - babies) making noises outside our window at the level of our heads for an entire month until the landlord finally boarded up the hole that Momma had dug into the overhang. -

I'd be out of there. I wouldn't care if it is poisonous or not, I'd be gone. Though we have a few of the slithering things around here, not one yet IN the house. I'd call a snake catcher - and we do have them here. -

upon first seeing the thread title, i just assumed that samuel l. jackson showed up during one of your recent fantasies... :> there's a frigging [i]snake[/i]?! is there an animal control bunch in your town? ed -
happykat said on Aug 06, 2006....
ed, its in the middle of no where. the only animal control available requires shells and makes big boom. Ajinia, snakes are usually quiet, stealthy....very different from a family of raccoons. I wouldn't have lasted two nights under those conditions. -

Elly, I don't think I could take the embarassment of hysterical laughter bellowing from the phone were I to make a call to animal control. I'm somewhat concerned with the reason the snake was there in the first place. What kinda snake food was in the ceiling above my bed? -

A non poisonous snake is a friend that should be cultivated. Snakes do not spread disease among men, but they do kill the hateful rodents that do. -

Kat, I can see your point in your last two posts. :) And yeah, I think that is when my problem of insomnia began. The nightly waking up and being kept awake from 1 am till 4 am does not bode well for a light sleeper such as myself who is prone to being a night owl anyway. -

HunBoyChan, I totally agree. I haven't a problem with snakes in general. I would prefer they not be in the house, in my bedroom........creepy and oogie. I'm wondering just what kind of vermin the snake was after. Usually, the snakes stay in the chicken shack eating all our eggs. -

One of my boas escaped once, and I found it weeks later curled up in nightstand drawer. They can play hide and seek for a long time. The news recently reported that because of the drought, rattlesnakes were taking up residence in people's homes. A snake in general wouldn't worry me, but a poisonous snake is another story. -

So is it still in the ceiling? -
